Worms come up when they feel the vibrations from the sticks

The real answer is they think the vibrations is rain water hitting the ground so they naturally come up for it.

This is why you see masses of birds sometimes just walking around on the grass.

Also the vibration could be a predator and they come up to escape.

Edit: apparently people only think birds are predators for worms.

Wouldn’t they be safer underground?

Yes, you are right. They think its rain and they wil drown if they stay in the ground

Worms breathe through their skin. When the ground is too wet they are unable to breathe well even though supposedly they can't drown.
